"Hello M! I mean Mary! Who's your favorite person and why is he the friendly tall fiend with the plague mask?"
---- The officer sighs out. He might be wearing a different mask today, but that silhouette was still painfully obvious. A tiny laugh hisses out, the barest hint of a croak coming with it. Did he want to hear her thoughts so badly? Maybe this was where she should pull that common trope -- where she should play 'hard to get'?
[ My favorite person... well~ I don't remember Makima-shachou ( @makimavellic ) wearing a plague mask~ Mina's ( @interimstellarus ) is pretty tall though... ]
[ - Ah~ But I could just tell you what my favorite things about them are! After all, you really weren't too specific with what you wanted; a favorite person is subjective, after all! ]
---- [ Miss Makima has forethought and an ambition that many find terrifying. But it's impossible for me not to respect the drive she has to achieve whatever she sets her mind to. Even if I've been thrust into situations I've felt uncomfortable by, it's always pushed my limits and helped me learn new things that I was capable of. ]
[ Mina, on the other hand has been helping me remember the simple joys of being human -- the things that are so easily forgotten when you're surrounded by death and violence on the daily. When tragedy is something to report and file away, it loses its luster and becomes routine. Having a friend like her has been invaluable to giving me reasons to smile on the daily. ]
---- [ -Oh! Of course~! And how could I forget about my darling f(r)iend Violence ( @urbanumviolentium )~!? A fiend who despite his namesake and nature, has made the decision of his own volition to be someone worth knowing and thinking about. ]
[ Whose constant struggle against his own internal adversity is proof that it is not only the result that matters; that 'goodness' is not a binary state, but something that must be appreciated with full context of one's own internal bearing. Kind, entertaining, protective, and someone that I want to spend more time with. Every time I'm with him, I remember more and more that everyone, from a fiend embodying violence itself, to the people working in the offices at Public Safety, are all struggling to search for and lay their hands on what it means to be human. ]
